Rosen Hotels on International Drive

Once guests at the Quality Inn International check in and see their guest rooms, they may just think they’ve checked into a much more expensive luxury hotel. Extensive renovations at the hotel were completed March 1, with every guest room receiving all new furniture that was made in America, as well as new carpet, drapes, luxurious pillow-top mattresses and stylish, yet comfortable bedding.

The Quality Inn International is the third of the four Rosen Hotels & Resorts leisure properties to receive an “extreme hotel makeover.” Renovations to the Quality Inn Plaza and Comfort Inn Lake Buena Vista were completed in late 2009, while the Rodeway Inn will be completed this summer. Total renovations for the four leisure properties are expected to top $30 million.

The newly renovated rooms at the Quality Inn International feature a warm, inviting and comfortable color palette using soothing shades of gold, russet and accents of green. The hotel listened to guest requests and feedback — adding a beautiful traditional wardrobe with distinctive molding in warm chestnut tones, designer doors to close off the vanity area for added privacy, a fully upholstered lounge chair and an ergonomic work area. Careful attention was paid to serviceable lighting in the room with finishes in bronzes with ivory shades that included convenience plugs. The hotel has also added new amenities such as complimentary wireless Internet service and a complimentary programmable safe that’s large enough to accommodate a laptop. The family-friendly hotel still offers in-room refrigerators, microwaves and coffee makers. Fully accessible ADA rooms are also available.

Refurbishments have not only made the rooms more comfortable and contemporary for guests, but have also made the hotel more eco-friendly. These practices include, but are not limited to, water conservation measures by installing low flow plumbing fixtures and implementing a linen reuse program, and energy efficiency achieved by installing compact florescent (CFL) bulbs in all guestroom lamps and light fixtures. The waste reduction criteria are met by providing the opportunity to recycle, purchasing items in bulk, purchasing recycled materials and by recycling ink and toner cartridges. In addition, the carpet fiber used is made of reclaimable and sustainable nylon. At the end of useable life of the carpet, it will be recycled into new fiber to avoid ending up in land fill.

The Quality Inn International offers 728 luxuriously appointed, “semi-suite” guest rooms outfitted with two double beds. A swimming pool, video arcade and gift shop offer downtime from the theme parks, while a full-service buffet-style restaurant, sports bar and lounge, and late night mini-market/deli offer plenty of onsite dining options. The hotel continues to offer its incredibly popular kids Eat Free program (children ages 9 and under receive complimentary breakfast and dinner buffets when accompanied by a paying adult).

The hotel is located in the heart of the Orlando attractions area on International Drive and is convenient to many shopping, dining and entertainment options including Pointe Orlando. Complimentary, scheduled shuttle service to Universal Orlando, SeaWorld Orlando and Wet N’ Wild is also available for guests (reservation required). Nearby, Rosen Hotels and Resort's own Shingle Creek Golf Club is open for play, with complimentary transportation provided to and from the course.

Quality Inn International is located at 7600 International Drive, Orlando, FL 32819. For more information, call 800-825-7600 or visit orlandoqualityinn.com .

Celebrating a 35th anniversary, Rosen Hotels & Resorts has grown from 256 to more than 6,300 rooms, approximately six percent of the total guest rooms in Central Florida. Today, the Rosen family of hotels, which includes the award-winning convention properties Rosen Plaza, Rosen Centre and Rosen Shingle Creek, and four leisure properties in the Orlando tourist corridor, including the Quality Inn International, Quality Inn Plaza and Rodeway Inn International and Comfort Inn Lake Buena Vista, remain committed to providing outstanding value for all guests.
